Naver Matome is Japanese Blog Site Created in 2009

Copyright infringement
NAVER Matome was criticized for being Copyright infringement

In 2011 Google AdSense was suspended due to reasons such as "summary" of illegally uploaded videos

In the fall of 2016, DeNA, which also operates a curation site, was on fire due to problems such as plagiarism and movements such as hiding articles on curation sites of other companies spread

In response to these problems, LINE, which manages NAVER Matome, announced on December 5 that it will aim for trial operation such as rights protection and incentive return system for primary information senders by the end of 2017.

On the other hand, LINE has expressed the view that no problems have been found on the site as of December 6 and in the past article, "I have been monitoring the content created according to the guidelines. it is not that was. it is not to review become now. "and also states

Kazuishi Nagae, who distributes articles to BLOGOS and e-mail newsletters operated by the company, will take full 2017 to respond to this policy, so it is appropriate to close the site until the new policy is actually applied. As a matter of fact, LINE declared that it would stop delivering articles if it continued to infringe the copyright of NAVER Matome

Masahiro Ariga, a photographer who was infringing copyright, started signing on the Internet signing site Change.org , saying, "Advertising distribution service companies such as Yahoo! have stopped distributing advertisements to NAVER Matome. " Are gathered

In addition, when the right holder who plagiarized the copyrighted work requested the deletion of the "summary", he was asked to post the wording "reproduction to NAVER MATOME" on the relevant page, so the request for deletion was abandoned. The case of plagiarism was introduced, and LINE's response was regarded as a problem  . Due to a series of criticisms of this procedure, it was changed to a method of writing a confirmation number in March 2016 LINE states that the purpose of these procedures is to verify the identity of the right holder, and to prevent the "summary" creator's freedom of expression from being hindered by an unjustified declaration In the original deletion procedure, the person requesting deletion needs to submit personal information in documents to confirm that the content is the right holder, but it takes too much time and effort to reduce the burden on the right holder. Therefore, it is said that such a method was adopted Such a procedure conforms to the measures that the provider (service provider) should take as stipulated by the Provider Liability Limitation Law, but there have been voices of opposition that the victim must take time and effort.

LINE, which was criticized for insufficient measures against copyright infringement, changed its policy on December 28, and when a copyright infringement report was filed, it hidden the "summary" and created a "summary". We have introduced a measure to unhide only when the person proves that the copyright is not infringed, and if the request for information disclosure regarding the "summary" creator is from a legitimate right holder, the creator's request Announced that it has improved its operations to disclose without consent

Kenji Sugiura, a lawyer, decided on the TV break case (Tokyo District Court, November 2009) as to whether LINE, which provides the "place", is also included in the subject of copyright infringement if there is copyright infringement in NAVER Matome. Given the decision on March 13th and the Intellectual Property High Court on September 8th, 2010), he states that there is still room for LINE to be considered a copyright infringer. In addition, if LINE is determined to be a copyright infringer, it may be determined that it is not exempt from liability as a "sender" under the Professional Liability Law. The new guidelines will reduce copyright infringement and make LINE less liable, but there is no announcement that the summary article system itself has improved, so there is still room for legal liability. It can be said that

NAVER MATOME criticism is hidden
